Glacier and Landscape Evolution of Antarctic Islands in a Warming Climate.
This project examines Antarctic Peripheral Glaciers and Ice Caps (APGs) evolution under climate, ocean, and ice sheet changes during the satellite era, using remote sensing and modelling techniques. Read more
Global glacier mass change
Summary. This project will investigate the mass loss of glaciers globally from 2010 to present time. Project background. Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet are a major contributor to current sea level rise and are projected to remain so until the end of the 21st century (Rounce et al., 2023).

Assessing the role of extreme events in iceberg calving in Antarctica
Summary. This project will use remote sensing to investigate the patterns and drivers of iceberg calving in Antarctica, with a specific focus on the role of extreme environmental conditions in driving calving. Read more
Are tropical tree communities shaped by processes in the seed-to-seedling transition?
Summary. This project will examine how seed traits and key processes such as seed production, predation and the microbiome influence seedling establishment, demography and composition in intact and disturbed tropical forests. Read more
